Application ma :1; ms, Serial No. 263,108 I 2 Claims- This invention relates to the apparatus for impregnating packages of wound rovings of textiles or spun yarns of wool, cotton, or other textile yarns with fluids, and discharging said fluids therefr'omfo'r uniformly dyeing the material operated upon.

.The' object of the invention relates to the apparatus for impregnating rovings of textiles, or spun yarns of wool, cotton or other textile yarns,

1 uniformly through all portions thereof with fluids, and discharging said fluids therefrom without producing any blowouts in the material operated upon and avoiding leakage in said textiles, spun yarns and the like.

18 The second object of the invention is the production of holders and protectors for wound w rovings of textiles and the like, by means of which 3 the overlapping of the rovings is prevented and .thereby avoiding breakage when the rovings are q unwound.

Heretofo're packages of textiles have been dyed on holders with hoods for the top and bottom and faces thereof and also without the use of said hoods.

I When the said hoods were used, no means was employed for the uniform escape of the dye liquor through the top and bottom ends of the packages which caused uneven dyeing in the packages, although said packages were mainatained in their original shape during the process of dyeing.

When the hoods were not used, the dye liquor flowed freely through the packages, but the shapes of the packages were disturbed. With J the invention of the applicant when said packages of textiles are dyed their shapes are maintained intact, and all portions thereof are uniformly dyed.

Various other objects of the invention will be a evident from following specification and claims.

In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 represents a longitudinal axis section of an exempliiication of the improved holder and protector with its appurtenances and packages of wound rovings of textiles; Fig. 2 shows an enlarged top view of one of the protecting hoods of the invention; Fig. 3 indicates a section of Fig. 2 on the line 3, 3; Fig. 4 is a top view of one of the intermediate double protecting hoods and Fig. 5

go represents a section of Fig. 4 on the line I, 5.

The holder and protector is shown to comprise the inner longitudinal supporting tube 20, having the perforations II. The supporting tube 20, at its lower end is supported by the plug 2!, in

gg its axial opening 20.

eutireties by the numerals 35, 60 and 90. The

package 35 is indicated with the core 38, having the perforations 3!. At the upper end of the core ll is supported the single protecting hood 16 designated in its entirety by the numeral 40. The hood All, is shown with the conical shaped body portion 42. From the said body portion 42 upwardly extends the sleeve designated in its entirety by the numeral, 46. The said sleeve 46 20 comprises the cylindrical portions 41 and 48, connected by the tapered portion 49. The cylindrical portion ll extends into the groove 33 of the cap 82. At the lower face of the body portion 42, of the hood 40, is indicated the conical shaped wire. mesh cover II, which at its upper central opening 62 isspot welded to the body portion 42, as indicated at 53. The outer portion of the wire mesh cover ll is bent over the outer circumferential' edge .of the body portion 42, and its edge portion is fastened to the upper surface of said body portion 42 by spot welding as indicated at 54.

The packages 00 and 90 are also each shown having the core 38 with the perforations 39.

At the lower end of the package 35, is indicated a double conical shaped protecting hood designated in its entirety by. the numeral 62, and which comprises the upper conical shaped body 40 portion .4 and the lower conical shaped body portion I.

The body portions I4 and 65, are connected by the sleeve designated in its entirety by the numeral it. The sleeve 88 comprises the central cylindrical portion 01, from which extend the tapered portions 68 and 69. From the portion 68 extends the cylindrical portion 10, and from the portion 69, extends the cylindrical portion H. The cylindrical portion ll, joins with the body portion II and the cylindrical portion Hi, Joins with the body portion 85.

Bearing upon the upper or inner face of the upper conical shaped body portion 84, is indicated the conical shaped wire mesh cover II,

which at its central opening I3, is fastened to the conical shaped body portion 33, by spot welding as indicated at 11. The outer circumferential portion of the cover I3, is bent over the outer circumferential edge of the body portion 33. and fastened to the latter by spot welding I3.

Bearing against the lower face of the conical shaped body portion 33. is shown the conical shaped wire meshcover 33, which at its central opening 3I' is fastened to the body portion 33 by spot welding 32. The outer circumferential portion of the cover 33, is bent over the outer edge of the body portion and fastened to the latter by spot welding 33.

Between the packages 33 and '33, is positioned another double conical shaped protecting hood designated in its entirety by the numeral II, which is similar to the protecting hood 32, and is shown with its upper conical shaped body portion 32, similar to 33 and its lower conical shaped body portion 94, similar to 85. A wire mesh cover ll, similar to It, bears on the upper face of the body portion 32, and is fastened in place as described for the cover I3. A conical shaped wire mesh cover 33, similar to 33, bears against the lower face of the body portion 33, and is held in place as described for the cover 33.

At the lower end of the package 33, is shown a single protecting hood I", which is similar to' the protecting hood 43, but is'located in a position reverse to the latter. The hood I33, is indicated with the conical shaped body portion I32. From the body portion I32, extends downwardly the sleeve designated in its entirety by the numeral I ill-which is similar to thesleeve 33, already described. The sleeve Ill, at its lower end has integral therewith the cylindrical portion I33, similar to 33 already described. The cylindrical portion I33 extends into and is supp rted by bore 23 in the plug 23. Upon the hood I33, is. supported the conical shaped wire mesh cover 2, similar to 13, and which is fastened in place as described for the latter.

The rovings for the packages 35, 33 and 33, are each indicated in its entirety by the numeral I23. Each roving I20, is cylindrical in the body portion thereof and is shown with the top and bottom end conical shaped faces respectively designated at I22 and I23. Each of the rovings I23, is wound around its core 33.

The packages 33, 83 and so, are then assembled upon the longitudinal supporting tube 23, between their protecting I hoods as indicated in Fig. 1.

It will be noted that the wire mesh cover 3|, spaces the top conical shaped end face I22, of the roving I20 of the package 33, from the lower face of the body portion 32, of the hood 33. The

wire mesh cover I3, spaces the bottom conical shaped end face I23, of the roving I23, of the package 35 from the body portion 33 of the double hood 62. The wire mesh cover 33, spaces the top conical shaped end face I22 of the roving I23, of the package 33, from the body portion 33 of the adapter 32.

In a similar way the wire mesh cover 33. spaces the bottom conical shaped end face I23, of'the package 33, from the body portion 32 of the hood 9|. The wire mesh cover 33, spaces the top end face in; of the roving m of the package so. from the body portion 33 of thehood II, and the wire mesh cover 2. spaces the bottom end face I23. of the roving I23 of the package 33 from thebodyportionl32ofthehoodl33.

Tb operate the invention dye liquor for dyeing the packages 33. 33 and 33, is directed to the lower end of the supporting tube 23. The liquor will flow through the perforations 2i, and then pass through the perforations 33, of the cores 33, and uniformly impregnate each of the rovings I23. The dye liquor will be simultaneously discharged from each of the rovings I23. through its cylindrical wall and through its concaved conical top and bottom end faces I22 and I23. The liquor passing through said top and bottom end faces I22 and I23, will flow through the openings of the wire mesh of each of the packages. The result of the ilow of the liquor as described will dye the said packages uniformly throughout all their portions.

Attention is called to the fact that the direction of the flow of the dye liquor through the packages may be reversed from that described, that is to say the dye liquor may enter at the out er cylindrical surfaces of the rovings I23 and also enter respectively through their-"t p and bottom faces I22 and I23, and led to th supporting tube 23. With the old forms of hoods. packages of some textiles when operated upon with dye liquor become glossy adjacent to said hoods or adapters, resulting from the lack of a uniform flow of the liquor through the ends of the packages. This result is avoided with the hoods described in this application.

Various modifications may be made in the invention and the present exemplication is to be taken asillustrative and not limitative thereof.

Having described my invention I claim:

1. The combination of a supporting tube having perforations extending through its wall, a pair of protecting hoods supported on said tube for the top and bottom end faces of a package of textiles and the like and a wire mesh cover connected to each protecting hood which bears against the top and bottom end faces of the package.

2. The combination 'of a supporting tube having perforations extending through its wall, a single protecting hood having a conical shaped body portion supported at the upper end of-said tube and a single protecting hood having a conical shaped body portion supported at the lower end of the supporting tube and opposite in position relatively to the first protecting hood or adapter, and a plurality of double conical shaped hoods supported on the supporting tube between the hoods at the top and bottom ends of the same, each double protecting hood comprising a pair of conical shaped body portions oppositely positioned to each other, each of the body portions of all protecting hoods having a conical shaped cover of wire mesh adapted to bear against the adjacent end face of a package of textile.
